Installing Quando Locally

Prerequisites

Install these (if you don't have them already):

1. Go tools

You will need to (currently) install Go on your (Windows 10/11 tested) PC - you may install this when using VS Code.

2. Chrome browser (recommended, if not already installed)

Quando has been developed with Chrome Browser. Other browsers are untested, but may work.

3. Optional - GCC compiler - for the 'Full' features of Quando

This is needed if you wish to control the keyboard/mouse on your (tested on windows) PC.

You will need to install GCC to build robotgo:

Open https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/8.1.0/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-8.1.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0.7z to download the compressed code for 64 bit windows.
If you don't have an uncompress program that works, download from https://www.7-zip.org/
Extract the compressed file to C:\mingw64 - check that you do not have a mingw64 folder inside C:\mingw64
Add C:\mingw64\bin to your path:

Press the windows key and type environment then choose 'Edit the System environment variables'
Choose Environment Variables at the bottom
in the bottom panel 'System Variables', select 'Path' then Edit
Choose New then type in C:\mingw64\bin then choose OK (three times)

To check that gcc is installed:

Open a new command line and typing 'gcc --version'
- you should see something like 'gcc (x86_64-posix-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 8.1.0...'

Standard (online) Installation - with updates available

You need to (tested on Windows):

Install Git for Windows - if not already installed
Open a command line (Windows-R, 'cmd'then press Return), then type in the command line:
```
cd \
git clone https://github.com/andrewfstratton/quando.git
```

Note: This will install Quando in the C:\quando directory
